My last purchase was 2000 miles away but it took me 30 minutes to engage with a local realtor and get enough info to make me comfortable with the purchase.Good luck and keep up the with the learning Mouschi!

Thanks for the info.

But that's just me and the fact that I'd known that info already.

Jayo,IRS info in regards to closing costs question you asked.

Let me give bit of info about my self.

Thanks for all of the great info.

You can find a lot of great info using the search function.

As far as the do's and dont's, you must follow the IRS rules and guidelines as they pertain to qulaified retirement accounts.I do have another thread here on BP talking about self directed IRA's, you may want to read up on them.

Craigslist is one good source of info, newspaper may be another.

It seems there is quite a bit of info and very knowledgeable people eager to dispense advice and share experiences.AC
